A Pet Peeve



Lawn mowers are few and far between down here. Then again, yards are few and far between here in the city. Most houses have a little strip of grass somewhere that could be maintained with a pair of scissors. But instead of using scissors, most people hire one of multitude of guys roaming around with a weedeater. Those guys will then proceed to scalp the poor patch of grass, literally just turning the their machine sideways and putting it right against the ground. Boy, does that drive me nuts (consider the pictured strip in front of our house that just got scalped). The only benefit that I see is that the owner only has to get his patch of grass cut once every couple of months.
